it was -18 this morning in NH. I'm gonna get my wc'ing up and running (once i get a new system together) and hope it's still cold, then just set it all up and just have it running for like a night and do suicide runs in the -20 degree weather in my attic. haha.

lol suckers!

you should fill your loop with an ethanol/water mix and just hang the rad out a window... should get some sweet subzero temps!

nice one phil... but you should be able to go way bigger than that! you'll need a hulluva lotta voltage tho... i know, you might not wanna put 1.5V+ through the core... but sometimes you just have to! lol you'll also want plenty of MCH voltage for bigger clocks too

EDIT: finally got my rig pi stable above 3.9GHz... so here's the best i could do at 3.95... had to whack out the timings a bit (not really that much, but hey, its worse than what i wanted), especially the tRFC and tRRD... anyways, i finally got it going and broke 11 seconds! 10.938 @ 3.953GHz under Vista (cuz XP doesnt wanna run over 3.9 )

thats a pretty nice time for an older AMD core... what're your timings looking like?? you might be able to cut another 1-2 seconds off that if you make sure the HDD and memory are performing to their best

I hope the HDD is performing at it's best, it's a fresh install of XP on my new 1.5tb. I also killed almost all background programs, including my AV, haha. Grabbed an extra second that way. I can mess with my RAM, but I'm not quite sure what to do. My RAM isn't exactly awesome, it's 2x 1gb DDR400 3-3-3-8. My old RAM had a cas of 2.5, but it's the same Corsair ValueSelect stuff, and it's 2x 512mb sticks.

Suggestions?

good job bong, and i was hoping i would beat your score super pi is being stupid cause i ran it a couple of times at 3.6ghz and it kept giving me errors. so it would never finish. has any one else have these problems?
